Graffiti

Little was the strange street artist Banksy aware that £1,000 graffiti on a Trailer has a potential to generate him £500,000 ($977,865). The pattern on the side of a lorry promo that twofolds as a family home for the present proprietor is expected to be sold at auction. Popularly known as Fragile Silence, it portrays commandos bringing stereo system gears on a beach. The trailer’s holder, Maeve Neal and Nathan Welland, disclose that Banksy has legitimate the work that he finished before they flock the truck to the Glastonbury Festival in 1998.

The surprising news is he didn’t ask for anything but in return gave them two free festival tickets for attaining the ‘canvas.’ In the past Banksy’s painting, Space Girl And Bird generated a sales of £288,000 and a wall exhibiting his work in Notting Hill, West London, obtained £208,000 online.
